This , of course , deform out to be the Gum Gum Devil Fruit that feed Luffy his rubber body .
just how muchShanks inOne Pieceknew about Luffy ’s Devil Fruit remains a mystery that even Eiichiro Oda ’s manga has not yet revealed , but even alive - action viewers may be wondering why shank or a extremity of his crew had n’t actually eaten the matter already . One Piecepirates typically acquire Devil Fruits because they seek power , either for themselves or for a crew fellow member .

Did Shanks Have A Sinking Feeling In One Piece?
The big drawback that come with all Devil Fruits inOne Pieceis that the drug user work intolerant to seawater . A slight dab of piquant breaker is enough to turn even the most powerful Devil Fruit - user into a wet paper bag , and Luffy is no different . InOne Piecechapter # 1113,Dr . Vegapunk shockingly expose that the entireworld ofOne Pieceis sinking into the sea , and this threatens to make life very difficult for those who swear on Devil Fruits for power .

Suddenly , the Gum Gum Fruit lying around in a chest during Netflix’sOne Pieceflashbacks seems less like story convenienceor a careless oversight and more like a calculated decision . By the same logic , it might also explain Shanks ' warm reaction after realizing what Luffy had snacked upon . munch a Devil Fruit is generally considered a boon for pirates inOne Piece , but Shanks do like a parent whose tike had just walked through the front doorway with a facial tattoo when he first saw Luffy ’s branch stretch . That reaction pull in manner more sense if Shanks always knew the hereafter ofOne Piecewould be underwater .
Further Proof That Shanks' Crew Deliberately Didn’t Eat One Piece’s Gum Gum Fruit
Shanks Isn’t A Fan Of Devil Fruit-Users In One Piece
Another key piece ofOne Piecelore adds system of weights to the idea thatShanks and his crew did n’t run through the Gum Gum Fruit because they knew the world was destined to sink underwater . The vast majority of top pirate ship crew inOne Piececontain at least a handful of Devil Fruit - users . The likes of Whitebeard , Blackbeard , Big Mom , and Kaido all build up their crews around Devil Fruits . Luffy does n’t actively seek Devil Fruit - users but there are still four among the Straw Hats , while the only Worst Generation captain not confirmed as a Devil Fruit - user is Urouge .
If Shanks learn about the sinking world from Roger , that would full explain why they are the only two big - meter captains to have no Devil yield - users as crew members .
Most powerfulcharacters inOne Piecehave eaten a Devil Fruit themselves or have Devil Fruit - substance abuser ally . That makes Red - Haired Shanks an outlier , as none of his crew members have thus far shown any Devil Fruit abilities inOne Piece , Shanks included . That form powerfully suggest a measured intention to either not enrol Devil Fruit - users , or not leave work party members to eat Devil Fruits - hence Luffy get theGum Gum Fruit inOne Pieceseason 1 .
One Piece follows young pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his diverse crew as they embark on a daring quest for treasure. Released in 2023, the film brings the adventurous world of the popular manga to life, capturing Luffy’s relentless pursuit of the legendary One Piece treasure.
The situation becomes even more curious when considering that the only other major pirate crew to contain no Devil Fruit - drug user inOne Pieceis Gol D. Roger ’s . Only the then - apprentice Buggy ate a Devil Fruit while working for the Roger Pirates , and that chance entirely by accident . If , therefore , Shanks acquire about the sinking world from Roger , that would in full explain why they are the only two big - clock time captain to have no Devil Fruit - substance abuser as crowd appendage .
